Overview: Consisting of a pair of ten and thirteen storey blocks, the 176 home scheme provides a new gateway marker to the developing northern town centre and train station arrival. The former 0.5HA underutilised Network Rail site will enable additional centrally located family housing. Community Impact & Value: Increased significantly during the delivery stages, 70% of the new homes have been completed for Hounslow Council as social rental apartments for local people. The scheme is an exemplar for the joint venture between EcoWorld and Lampton 360. Our detailed design and delivery with CField enables the Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands planning concept to be delivered efficiently and within a tight time frame. Technical Insights & Challenges: Activation and passive supervision via the new residential use to the western side of the Longford River has enabled wider towpath enhancement and connection to Glebelands Park. The large building mass when viewed from the south is chamfered and stepped to provide relief and variation. The private amenity spaces are delivered through four balcony types addressing thermal bridging and assisting in softening gable and long elevations. The wide variation of apartment layouts, sizes and typology creates a welcome offer to new residents. The delivery of these behind the original designed regular façade, created fabric, building services and compliance challenges. This was developed and resolved through close working relationships with the subcontractors and main contractor, delivering a project surpassing the 2022 Part L requirements. Key Achievements: This focus on new social housing delivery shows the importance being placed on regeneration of vacant and contaminated brownfield sites. A scheme that addresses the national housing crisis whilst producing landmark buildings as targeted in the Hounslow development plan.

Overview: This prominent 11 storey former office block on the High Road, is remodelled and extended to prove 260 new residential apartments with four new 5 storey buildings to the west, on the previous carparking. The 235,269 sqm / 2,532,415 sqft mixed use development reactivates this brownfield site. The scheme is served by a significant new basement and 660 sqm of podium landscape, providing a central courtyard. The new ground floor commercial space in Barnet House provides activation and a tranquil space is formed that new residents enjoy. The landscape also traverses the 4.5m level change across the site to the adjacent Baxendale Gardens and the surrounding streets. Community Impact & Value: Ever Ready House, designed in 1966 by Richard Seifert was re-named Barnet House in 1986. It has sat empty since the most recent tenant and local employer, London Brough of Barnet, relocated in 2021. Whilst this residential focus refurbishment provides new local homes and commercial employment, it also ensures this significant scale local landmark is enhanced to provide a high-quality new investment to the Whetstone town centre, driving wider economic investment. Technical Insights & Challenges: Refurbishment rather than demolition provides a significant embodied carbon saving for the scheme, whilst also a challenging conversion to new residential best practice provisions. Innovative slab extension, increase the original building floorplates from 723sqm to 1190sqm, as well as in height, enlarging the building to 13 storeys. This enables additional staircases and triple aspect units to be formed benefiting from far reaching views over London. Taken through planning by Tate Hindle, we are undertaking detail design and delivery with CField Construction and the Client, Meadow. Key Achievements: Reuse and adaptation are embedded in sound sustainable strategies addressing decarbonisation aligning with our Studio values of retrofit and fabric first approaches.

Overview: The full 24,000 sqft gallery refurbishment and system upgrade saw the 8-week ‘dark period’ between scheduled shows fully utilised. Our directly appointed multi-disciplinary team delivered within this Grade II listed building, ahead of the widely acclaimed David Chipperfield’s Lee Krasner retrospective opening. Community Impact & Value: The project holistically reviewed the original gallery fabric and mechanical services. Innovatively reviving key design aspects created within the retained shell. A 21st century world leading gallery space formed, now able to host acclaimed international exhibitions, showing the world’s highest value and valued artworks. Technical Insights & Challenges: Addressing accessibility was critical. Newly located, increased lift capacity and navigation routes that align with the main staircase distribution to the upper Level 4 gallery ensure additional mobility and visibility requirements are inclusive. Display walls, lighting and flooring were also creatively adjusted throughout the space, enhancing the visual experience and wayfinding for all. Centrally located in the wider listed arts centre and residential Barbican Estate, a sensitive approach to both re-use and enhancement of the existing fabric was proposed to City of London Planners and Conservation Officers. As conservation architects, previously delivering the new Beech Street Cinemas at Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, we understood the key critical approach needed to work within the statutory approval processes. Intentional use was made of existing fabric for a full system upgrade from pneumatic controls to an energy efficient electrical control system along with full AHU equipment. Key Achievements: Due to the uniquely challenging development window, we provided an extremely agile and flexible service. Clear identification of tasks and outputs generated key principles and marker stage commissioning, compressing 3 months of critical work into the short programme.

Sauchiehall Street seeks to revitalise a prominent but long-vacant anchor building in Glasgow’s city centre through a comprehensive mixed-use scheme delivering purpose-built student accommodation alongside active ground-floor retail, restaurant and community uses. Located within Glasgow’s Central Conservation Area, the former Marks & Spencer store occupies a strategically significant position on one of the city’s most celebrated commercial streets, yet currently sits underutilised, contributing to the wider decline of the Sauchiehall Street corridor. The proposal addresses a well-documented undersupply of high-quality Purpose-Built Student Accommodation in Glasgow, offering a range of living options from en-suite rooms and studios through to one-bedroom apartments, tailored to the needs of undergraduate, postgraduate and international students. Central to the scheme is the sensitive retention and reinstatement of the building’s historic Sauchiehall Street façade, preserving the character of the conservation area while integrating it into a new residential and commercial structure behind. A key placemaking move is the reinstatement of the historic arcade connecting Sauchiehall Street and Renfrew Street, reviving a lost pedestrian route, activating commercial frontages, and restoring legibility and footfall to both streets. Design principles are rooted in a rigorous reading of Glasgow’s urban grain, drawing on the city’s characteristic grid, block structure, and the solidity of its architectural tradition, expressed through strong verticals, horizontals, and a carefully considered material palette. Generous indoor and outdoor amenity spaces, including green roof terraces, foster a sense of community while contributing to the public realm. The concept design, developed by Corstorphine & Wright, establishes a clear architectural vision that balances heritage conservation with contemporary city-centre living. The design responds sensitively to the site's historic context while introducing a confident new built form that reinforces the character of Sauchiehall Street, enhances connectivity, and supports the long-term regeneration of this important part of Glasgow.

Overview: Responding to Exeter’s growing demand for student housing, the scheme delivers a six-storey, 180-unit purpose-built accommodation on the former Unit 1 nightclub site in the Grecian Quarter. The U-shaped building of 5,285 sqm encloses a landscaped central courtyard, providing a social and spatial focus, while transparent ground-floor frontages engage with Summerland Street and Verney Street. Each self-contained studio includes a bathroom and kitchenette, complemented by shared amenities such as a lounge, study areas, gym, gaming and podcast rooms, and laundry facilities. The development replaces a post-war building with a contemporary, contextually sensitive scheme that enhances the townscape and preserves key heritage views. Community Impact & Value: Working closely with Spinnaker Estates and the local authority, the design supports both student life and the wider urban community. The central courtyard and cycle routes link to the neighbouring Printworks development, fostering shared outdoor spaces and improved connectivity. Active street frontages, enhanced pedestrian crossings, and careful consideration of views towards St Sidwell’s Methodist Church reinforce the scheme’s civic presence. By delivering high-quality, sustainable homes close to city-centre institutions, the project contributes to long-term student retention, local economic investment, and the ongoing regeneration of the Grecian Quarter. Technical Insights & Challenges: The site presented a number of constraints, including level changes, adjacency to The Printworks, and conservation sensitivities. Building massing and façade articulation were carefully developed to mitigate overlooking while protecting important heritage views. As a non-high-risk building, the scheme incorporates a robust fire strategy alongside a sustainability-led design approach, with a target of net zero in operation. The roof integrates a blue biosolar system, combining photovoltaic panels with green infrastructure, and the building is designed to connect to Exeter’s emerging District Heating network. Tight programme pressures required close collaboration between architectural, engineering, and sustainability teams, supported by extensive HRB versus non-HRB viability testing. Key Achievements: The project delivers an efficient, site-responsive layout within the constraints of a brownfield plot, informed by a sustainability strategy embedded from the outset. A fabric-first approach supports the net zero in operation target and was developed through close collaboration with MEP, energy, and sustainability consultants. The architectural response balances the protection of heritage views with a positive contribution to the local townscape, resulting in an active, civic-facing scheme aligned with Exeter’s wider urban regeneration objectives.

Overview: On a private road amongst the rolling downlands and lush meadows of Ashridge Estate sits Birchwood, an ageing 1970s family home within a verdant plot surrounded by ancient trees. Our proposed refurbishment sensitively works with the existing building and its magnificent setting within The Chilterns, an Area of Natural Beauty, to create a low-carbon, locally-crafted renovation. Community Impact & Value: It is more common locally, to demolish and replace dated homes. Here, we retain, recycle and reuse existing elements as part of a retrofirst approach that transforms a dated building into a contemporary home. Strengthening the connection between the interiors and the landscape guides the design and unification of both new and existing spaces. Each elevation is unique in composition but united in material and ethos, reading as a whole, orienting itself towards the rich and varied views of the landscape. Technical Insights & Challenges: Local materials and craftsmanship create a new twist on the prevailing vernacular, referencing the strong architectural tradition in The Chilterns and creating a meaningful connection to its history. Hand-crafted tiles face the first floor walls and seamlessly clad the roof, accomplishing a form that is simultaneously refined and contextual. Below, the ground floor palette of knapped flint gabions in varied tones, metal canopies and floor-to-ceiling openings create an elegant datum. Key Achievements: Our sustainability strategy adopts a ‘fabric-first’ low carbon approach, working to upgrade the existing building before proposing anything new. We are minimising the use of new building fabric, thereby combining environmental and economical benefits. Utilisation of innovative solar shading applications facilitate control of the internal climate and reduces energy demand whilst allowing natural light to filter deep into the plan.

Overview: A former children’s hospital sat on the 0.33HA central Swanley site in Kent prior to the Client’s 1970’s sheltered housing provision. Having reached the end of its life, wholesale fit for purpose new social housing outweighed refurbishment of the shared HMOs to provide a truly sustainable provision of 22 new much needed 3 bedroom, six person houses. Community Impact & Value: The 11 socially rented and 11 shared ownership properties make the most of natural daylight through orientation and comprehension of the original, well-considered hospital footprints. Swanley’s rich Victorian history as a thriving horticultural and healing environment served the sick of London for generations. This ideal of social prescription saw wellbeing thrive. It seems only right that our project respects this and provides high quality social housing in this mature verdant setting. We have retained all 25 mature trees, including 12 oaks, 3 large horse chestnuts and several beautiful signature cherry and maples, with approximately 1500sqm of new and enhanced existing green habitat. Densification of the site was possible due to the innovative housing typologies set around a central courtyard, landscaped to provide functional car parking and useable community amenity. Technical Insights & Challenges: Our approach of contextual and environmental conditions builds on West Kent Housing Association’s aspirations for best in class. With 100% A-rated SAP (2023) certification, this fabric first approach sees sustainable principles supported with PV arrays and locally sourced material selection. The palette of natural tones ensures the contemporary robust brickwork designs bed the highly energy efficient housing typologies into the existing varied local vernacular. Key Achievements: The delivery stages will be supported through the appointment of local trades and contractors to ensure locally needed housing also supports local jobs and training.

Overview: Our proposals for a vibrant, mixed-use, dynamic pavilion sit at the heart of London-based developer, Related-Argent's plans for a vibrant new North London neighbourhood. Independent restaurants, shops, cafes, office space, new health centre, and over 1000 homes all form part of a new central public square which the Tottenham Hale Pavilion centralises. Community Impact & Value: The project was commissioned following an invited competition, our response to the brief sought to create a scheme that balanced moments of openness and quieter spaces sheltered from the activity around. These opposing conditions require a suitably dynamic building. Orientated to enclose specific parts of the civic square, the lower volume shifts and steps in plan to provide a mix of shelter and access, giving a duality to the ground floor of the slender scheme. Technical Insights & Challenges: Despite sharing a similar footprint, the upper floor differs dramatically from the ground floor, establishing a strong distinction between base and top. The translucent top is designed to be just as flexible as the active ground level, accommodating different functions throughout the day. Public areas of the first floor provide a considered outlook during the daytime and are illuminated internally at night, becoming a wayfinding beacon and focal point of the square. Key Achievements: The mixed-use 750sqm Pavilion utilises Modern Methods of Construction to create a civic centrepiece at economical build rates. Falling centrally within the wider masterplan, the site becomes a crossing point for new walking, cycling and tube access routes established as part of the sustainable mobility strategy. The new civic square will be a picturesque symbol of regeneration for new and existing residents alike.

Overview: A 60,000sqft, seven storey building with double basement on the artery route between Kings Cross and Camden provides a state-of-the-art community healthcare facility. The site repairs the frontage along Royal College Street linking to the 265,000 sqft mixed use St Pancras Campus by Curson St John for W.RE. Community Impact & Value: The bespoke building offers intermediate care (intensive support for patients recovering from hospital treatment, readying them for a return home and independent living). Ian Chalk Architects have designed the building to reflect the origins of early NHS architectural expression. The step-down facility fit-out brief has been formed by BDP and Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWL), ahead of our current detailed design and delivery of the shell and core with CField Construction. Technical Insights & Challenges: The building occupies the full site. Following ordnance identification, our approach to a design led delivery of the A1 fire rated façade and frame had to be innovative. Critical architectural detail was developed in parallel to a top-down approach of ground level slab install, and consecutive basement excavation and upper-level frame delivery. Central circulation leads to flanking wards and medical laboratories with triple height voids. Careful consideration for working and care environments with high levels of natural daylight and fresh air has developed a high performing envelop, working with façade specialists. Decorative screening also provides technical resolution for roof level planted terraces for both patient and staff benefit. Key Achievements: Through the detailed design and construction phases, the fit-out for Healthcare enables a collaborative and engaging process with the Trust and the retained high-quality designers.
